Not because she is my mate, but because of the lifetime of training that she had taken.
"Zavier, you are staying here at least another week," mother said. "You have a challenge to finish."
I let out a sigh and pulled up the picture of Nylarizza again, staring at her smiling face and her angelic complexion that seemed to glow in the light on the TV. "Fine, but whatever your name is, is not allowed in my room without permission and you cannot walk around touching me like I'm your mate. You're not."
"My name is Avi, and I am, so I can do whatever I want," she mutters. I growl at her and she smirked back, walking past me but touching my shoulder on the way. I begin to turn to punch her in the face, but mother stops me, grunting to gain my attention.
"She allowed wherever, whenever. Even your suite," she says calmly. I run my hand through my hair and go upstairs, locking my door behind me.
